Woodgrain Mobile phone = Class 2007-04-14 23:41:54
The “S-series” mobile phone
is what you call anti-modern, a radically different design direction by combining sleek, sophisticated styling with top quality materials all put together in a compact package, to make the whole experience of looking at and owning the phone just as pleasurable as using it. The S-series is geared towards people who want to make a statement, without compromising on features. A very debonair device in my opinion, definitely a different look…

New Patent: PDA with detachable smaller phone inside 2007-04-14 01:59:33
This recently filed patent seems to address the issue of bukly PDAs by providing a detachable cell phone
. Based on the picture, the main PDA unit will look similar to a Palm Treo. But when a large screen and qwerty is not needed, flip the phone over and remove its smaller counterpart. When the two are attached together as one synergistic package, they can synchronize with one another. When apart, they can presumably act independently with the PDA handling the scheduling and the cell phone doing the voice calls and basic text messages. A very original design, this very well be the future of all PDAs. [Source MobileMag]

Seiko e-ink watch 2007-04-13 22:33:55
Seiko has designed a bracelet style watch
using high contrast e-ink technology. If the futuristic watch is set to its ‘efficiency’ mode, the display is informative and easy to read. If, however, the watch is set to its ‘mystery’ mode, the panel expresses the time in a more imaginative, evocative style. The ink display is encased under a 360-degree continuous sapphire crystal. Measurements of the ink watch are Diameter: outside 75.3mm, Inside 61.5mm, Width 22.0mm, Thickness: 6.9mm and the weight is 80g.
They also have a similar mens watch concept, but there are no specifications for it though. I definitely could use one of these in my life… [WristDreams]
T.I. - Big S#*t Poppin’ (produced by Mannie Fresh) 2007-04-13 22:07:13
T.I.’s first single off his forthcoming album “T.I. Vs T.I.P.” that drops this July 3rd. Its a typical T.I. track, the brotha doesn’t seem to be evolving his style at all, this actually sounds like a track that could of been on “Urban Legend”. But thats just my opinion…

Mobile phones could be killing our bees 2007-04-15 20:05:18
Scientists are putting forward the theory that radiation given off by mobile phones and other hi-tech gadgets is a possible answer to one of the more bizarre mysteries ever to happen in the natural world - the abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate crops. Still just a theory folks, but millions of bees across the nation have vanished (which farmers depend on for their crops), it also could be climate change, only time will tell.

Blackberry outage ruins mans relationship 2007-04-19 19:36:22
According to the Network World, Rafael Paz, a loss control specialist for a car rental agency, says hes “getting my e-mails about one to four hours late minimum since yesterday.” And it hasn’t just been loss control that has suffered, he adds: “This issue sucks. I’ve been getting grief about it from my now ex-girlfriend thanks to this delay. She thought I was ignoring her e-mails when I was receiving them hours late.” “We got into a really bad argument earlier in the day,” he replies. “She sent me a few e-mails and when I didn’t respond right away, she thought I was ignoring her and called it off. I didn’t get the e-mail it was over until around 2 a.m. today.”
My advice to Rafael, is drop her, she’ll obviously an idiot for not believing you, it would take a whole 2 seconds to Google information about the nationwide issue. Not to mention its been on TV news, you don’t need to be with someone that inept. Read more:outage
